Newbie - Adding Z-wave JS integration issue

I am very new to this and can’t seem to add the integration. I’m running HA on a NUC.

This is the sequence of events.

  1. Add integration, i get a window Enter the Z-Wave JS add-on configuration. The USB device path shows my Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle. I select the USB, leave the key values as blank and click Submit.
  2. Another window, ‘The Z-Wave JS add-on is starting’ ‘Please wait while the Z-Wave JS add-on start completes. This may take some seconds’. A spinning circle appears for a few minutes, and then another window ’ Z-Wave, failed to start the Z-Wave JS addon’.

If i look at the addon after the above, the addon is there, but is not started.

If i start the addon and try adding the integration, i get a ‘Failed to Connect’ error.

The log has the following
Logger: homeassistant.components.zwave_js.config_flow
Source: components/zwave_js/config_flow.py:248
integration: Z-Wave (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 9:27:58 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 9:27:58 PM

Failed to start Z-Wave JS add-on: timeout

What am i doing wrong, and what do i need to do to fix this?

You can’t use a Zigbee controller with the Z-Wave integration. The Z-Wave integration requires Z-Wave controllers, unsurprisingly.
